It is reported that the Kentland Enterprize and Democrat will move their plants to Goodland upon the change of county seats. This would be a wise move on the part of the Democrat, but the Enterprise should stay where it is, as the Goodland Herald is fully capable of looking after the interests of the Republicans of the county and is entitled to whatever patronage the removal of the county seat may bring. The official canvass of the Newton county seat removal vote gives Goodland but one vote over the 65 per cent required. Keptland states that she will-no longer appose the removal of the county seat and before many’ months a new court house will be in process of construction at Goodland. The successful town is required to donate at least two acres of ground on which to build the court house and to pay the value of the old buildings at Kentland. The high water in the Kankakee river gave the carp fish ample oppor tunity to go out in the fields foraging and several days last week hundreds of men and boys could be found wading about the farm lands with spears and pitchforks in search of them, and large catches were made, They are so numerous that wagon loads of them can be picked up when the water recedes and it is quite encouraging to know that the flood has done sotne good by thinning them out.—Crown Point Star.

Griswold’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin company gave a tent performance here Monday night. From a flnanc al point of view the show was a success, the tent being literally jammed with people. The crush at the ticket office was perhaps the greatest ever seen in this city, and the same rush for reserved seats at an additional price of admission was re-enacted when the inside of the tent was reached. The performance, while up to the usual standard of Uncle Tom tent shows, was bad from beginning to end. The concert after the performance was also well patronized.
